Consultants

With our specialist advice, Consultants can better manage their wealth, sustain their lifestyle, and plan well for retirement.

Key issues include:

  • Navigating the incremental pay scale – ensuring minimal impact on your annual allowance for NHS pension growth.
  • Helping you understand how additional PA and CEA awards can impact your retirement package – whilst taking best advantage of the additional income.
  • Considering new partial retirement regulations, to ensure you are making the most timely use of your NHS pension benefits.

How we help Consultants

Navigating the complexities of financial planning can be particularly challenging for medical professionals, who must balance demanding careers with the need to secure their financial future. From maximising NHS pension benefits and retirement planning to tax-efficient profit extraction and strategic investing, we provide tailored financial advice designed to meet the unique needs of those in the medical sector.

  • Maximising NHS Pension Benefits
    A good review of your NHS Pension benefits is essential – including the following:
    • Navigating pay increments
    • Pay awards (CEA or National)
    • Salary sacrifice & bank
    • Identifying NHS Pension errors
    • Minimising tax payments on your Annual Allowance
  • Retirement Planning
    By calculating the amount of annual income you will need to sustain your lifestyle into retirement, we will help you build a fund to match your aspirations, although the income available to you in retirement will depend on factors such as contributions made, investment performance and your personal circumstances.
  • Investing
    Whether you are looking to grow your investments, or secure a regular income from them –we’ll work together to shape a personalised investment strategy around your needs and lifestyle. It is important to note however that as the value of investments can rise and fall, positive returns are more likely if you invest for the long term, but this is not guaranteed and you could get back less than you invest.
  • Protection
    We’ll help you choose the life insurance, critical illness, or income protection solutions that offer the best protection for you and your family, with the support available depending on the cover selected and the terms of the policy.
  • Inheritance Tax & Estate Planning
    You are no doubt searching for the most effective ways to look after your loved ones. Our experts can help make sure your assets benefit your loved ones, rather than HMRC.
  • Long Term Care Planning
    Paying for care can be a huge financial burden that may last for several years. We’ll help you understand the options and guide you through the process of putting suitable measures in place.
  • Tax Efficient Profit Extraction
    You should be extracting profits from your limited company in the most tax efficient way. With our advice you can get on top of this, although the most effective approach will depend on your individual circumstances and the tax rules in force at the time as tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change over time. The value of any tax benefits or reliefs will therefore vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed.
  • Cash Management
    We help you manage the day-to-day finances of your practice or limited company.
  • Referral to Specialists
    In partnership with carefully-selected experts, we help ensure all of your financial, tax and legal affairs are in order.

Long Term Care Planning may involve a referral to Karehero, a comparison and care matching provider, whose services are separate and distinct to those offered by St. James’s Place.
